Popular actor Zahid Hasan will be seen in a teleplay titled ‘Pori’ which will be aired at 8pm today on the private television channel ETV.
He will appear opposite Nisha in the play, written and directed by Arif Rahman.
This is one of the 12 Eid-special teleplays and serials in which Zahid have acted, while he directed three single-episode plays and one serial.
Besides Pori, Zahid will appear in today’s episodes of two drama serials to be aired on NTV and ETV.
NTV is airing the seven-episode comedy serial Beauty Boat in which Zahid Hasan has paired up with Tisha. The drama, directed by Abu Raihan Jewel, features a married couple who runs a mobile beauty parlor set on a boat. It will be aired on 11:30pm.
The other serial, Neeler Bou Rashi, is being aired on ETV. Directed by Zahid Hasan, the seven-episode drama features a bridegroom conducting interviews of his would-be brides.
Zahid has acted in the role of the bridegroom while Nisha, Bhabna, Sarika, Nadia, Bonna Mirza, Tarin and Mou will appear as the prospective brides. The play will be aired at 11:25pm.
‘It was a very hectic schedule for me as I had to direct and act in a number of TV dramas and serials tailor-made for the Eid. By the grace of Allah, I completed all the tasks without a problem. Hopefully the audience will like them,’ said Zahid Hasan.
Among other plays, he acted in Halud Ronger Bayna in which he appeared opposite actress Purnima after about a decade. The play was aired on NTV yesterday.
He also acted in the telefilm Kokhono Kokhono, which was aired on Channel-i yesterday, and in Ata Tota which will be aired tomorrow at 11:55pm on Banglavision.
The three single-episode plays that he directed are: Phire Jabona (for RTV), Logic Latif (for Maasranga TV), and Hridoy Rohosya (Banglavision). Zahid played the protagonist in all of them.
‘All these plays are comedies made especially for Eid. But there is a great deal of variation in terms of story, presentation and making. I hope the viewers will not be disappointed,’ Zahid said.
Meanwhile, the actor, who had recently completed his 30 years in acting, was felicitated at a special TV show titled Star Night and aired on Maasranga yesterday. He also appeared in an in-house show with Shami Kaiser, which was aired on the first day of Eid on RTV.
Zahid is soon going to act in director Tauquir Ahmed’s upcoming film Halda.
